The Garden of Delights
Philippe Quesne, Director2023
Athens Epidaurus Festival
Athens, Greece
Philippe Quesne brought The Garden of Delights to the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, drawing inspiration from Hieronymus Bosch’s iconic triptych. Blurring the line between utopia and dystopia, Quesne crafted a surreal visual spectacle where dreamlike figures navigated a fantastical world filled with beauty, lust, and mystery. With its striking, allegorical imagery reminiscent of an otherworldly amusement park, the performance explored the fragile balance between pleasure and punishment in a mesmerizing theatrical experience.
